Summary:An ester compound having thermal stability in the presence of a metal characterized in that the ester compound is formed between a dihydric to nonahydric hindered alcohol having 5-15 carbon atoms and a saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having 3-20 carbon atoms or a derivative thereof; that the ratio of a branched carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof to the entire carboxylic acids or derivatives thereof is not less than 50 mol %; that the hydroxyl value of the ester compound is not more than 30 mg KOH/g; and that the acid value after a sealed tube test is not more than 10 mg KOH/g; and a lubricating oil composition comprising the ester compound in an amount of not less than 50% by weight. The present invention provides an ester compound having outstandingly good thermal stability in the presence of a metal and a lubricating oil composition and a working fluid composition for a refrigerating machine comprising the ester compound as the main component.
